Bug Description
When a client is connected and displaying a series of scheduled images, polling for new content (if there is new) will cause the current image to rapidly flash on the screen while the client is downloading the new content. This is from a quick test I did yesterday, client was a clean XP SP3 install on an Intel D845GRG board, P4 2.4GHz, 256MB RAM, onboard video. Since I don't know where else to tell you, this software is GREAT, exactly what I have been looking for! I plan to implement this here immediately, once I have done some additional testing. Will you have a forum available soon for community discussion or feature suggestions?

Hi
I'm glad you like Xibo :D
What update interval do you have set on the client - I think the default is 900 seconds.
When you say it flashes, could you describe the flashing a bit more - eg does it alternate between two pictures, the current picture and the desktop wallpaper etc.
Currently the client will "reset" its playlist of items when new content is scheduled, but it will only do that once per "update" from the server. I'm wondering if you have a layout with short-duration images and have a very short update interval set on the client if this would make it appear to flicker.
We're working really hard on the software itself at the moment. There's only 2 of us, and we both have full time jobs so time is not as plentiful as we would both like. Things like forums and a proper wiki will come in time. For now, we ask people to put general questions in the "Answers" section of Launchpad, and bugs here.
Cheers
Alex
